Rainy Monday morning in Tokyo, the song I'd written this week sucked more than this one so, here's this one instead.
lyrics
I need a nap as you can see
But someone took my nap from me
You stole a kip you little thief
And then came crying cutting teeth
As I pined for a day’s repose
The children there enjoyed a doze
Why don’t you try it at the bank
They keep sweet sleep in napping tanks
Any color you like
Gimme back my naps you thieving little tike
It seems unfair what I’ve observed
No napping for those that deserve
A moments rest from all their cares
From mortgages and home repairs
What have I traded for bum knees
For cell phone bills and hidden fees
Oh what I’d give to be as free
As children stealing naps from me
We punch the clock, we buy the farm
We kill our time and spin our yarns
With bushes beaten, bullets bit
With caffeine brewing finally quit
The truth is I can never have
For this old ache there is no salve
With endless love I bitterly
Give you those naps you took from me
